Thank you for your interest in my campaign to be elected a justice of the Third Court of Appeals.
I am running because I strongly believe that the Court needs to – and can – regain its reputation as one of the best appellate courts in the State of Texas, and that I can help in that effort. In the 1990-1991 term of Court, I served as a briefing attorney at the Court. During that time, I watched and learned from the hard-working justices who served those who live and work in the Third Court’s district. Although there have been improvements at the Court in the last few years, the Court still needs more hard-working justices who consistently issue timely, accurate, carefully considered, and well-written opinions.
I hope that you will take a moment to learn about me, my experiences, and my qualifications. It is critical that the justices who serve on the Third Court of Appeals answer for their performance to the people who hired them: the voters of the Court’s 24-county district.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you on the campaign trail.
Sincerely,
Karen Watkins
